Home to nearly 70 percent of our nation's coral reefs (the "rainforests of the sea," in terms of biodiversity), the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands is a remarkable ecosystem that supports a vast array of interdependent plants and animals, many of which exist nowhere else on the planet. Emmy Award–winning documentary producers as well as internationally recognized nature photographers, David Liittschwager and Susan Middleton portray the sea life, birds, and plants of this remote environment in more than 300 stunning images, revealing the spectacular diversity of these ocean and island creatures. They also profile many of the people dedicated to the preservation of this habitat.
